Mate, if ever there was someone who needed to spend an hour rolling around with a bunch of puppies, it's you. (=

I hope you can at least understand that pets bring joy into the lives of their owners. It doesn't all have to make perfect sense.

In the grand scheme of things, we're all just temporary cosmic dust, right? And dogs are a great daily reminder to focus on the small moments of happiness whenever you can find one.

This response to the point made by the person to whom you're responding is the philosophical equivalent of plugging your ears and going "la la la can't hear you".

What else would you be able to justify using this platitude?

Yeah, that justification taken to its extremes goes down a VERY dark path.
